I think for South America you need all of them, including Yellow Fever, check for each country as some countries will require it others not. Europe – nothing I don’t think. Just the normal ones. I’ve heard of people getting Typhoid in the Americas too.

All stays will be relatively long term at anywhere from a few wks to several wks.
Any recommendation on vaccines? We are from Canada but haven’t given our children all of their normal vaccines at this time because we don’t believe most are necessary or even ideal. Any suggestions or other links for our research would be helpful!
Thank you and I appreciate the blog. Very helpful!

Jeremy

Hi Phil. I’m in Namche today, the Everest View Hotel is about 440m above us and we were up there last week on an acclimatisation hike. The hotel itself is modern and packed with hikers. I found it rather disappointing. Personally I’d stay in Namche. The view point above Namche gives Everest views if the skies are clear, or you can still walk up to the Everest View. Namche is 2 days walk from Lukla. The flight to Lukla from Kathmandu is very weather dependent. There were no Flights for 6 days 3 weeks ago and still not every flight is departing due to cloud. Factor that in, flight cancellations are common. We just went to Base Camp with a 73 year old, so I don’t think age is an issue, just attitude and stamina. Altitude is unpredictable, you don’t know who it will hit, ever, but we’re still pretty low here. Get some diamox in Kathmandu and start taking it before you fly. It helps. Sorry for typos, I’m on my phone in the German Bakery in Namche. We walked from here to the Everest View in about 2 hours. I have photos and video coming once we’re back in civilisation.

I was wondering how you managed with respect to altitude sickness. I will be a fit 70 year old when we reach Lukla and have experienced altitude sickness at 11000 ft. Also I would like to hear what you thought of the flight to Lukla.
Thanks
Phil
